ANOTHER GREAT AFRICAN RIFER.

Dr. Schwcnfurth announces his agreement with
the theory Of various other African explorers, that

river forming n tributary Of the Congo. IL this
proves to be the case it will be fact OF the
greatest Importance to Mr. SANKEY'S expedition
in quest OF Or. Emin and also to the commercial
development of the Eastern Soudan
1t has long been known that large and
rayieablc river existed in that region, rising in
the Blue Mountains west Of Albert Nyama and
flowing west ward But it was supposed to be
merely the upper part OF the Shari. which emptles
into Lake Tclal. This stream has been known as
the Wolfe, otherwise WelleMallua, or Ouellc.
Another stream was known TO flow into the Congo
some distance above Stanley Pool, though It's size
and source had not been determined. 10 it was
given the name OF Mohangi, or OubrarGe DR..
.Juuker. however. has recently explored the Welle
for hundreds OF miles. and found II trcndinS not

much larger stream than the Shari is ut It's en-

ton between the Wclc and the ShaIi About the

THE BANCROFT LIBRARY

The State Of California is offered the oppor-
tnity to become the owner Of the invaluable
md in its way unequalled library, collected nv
Mr.. Hubert Howe Bancroft, as the foundation
of his monumental series of works ON the Pa
CHIC States and Territories. This bfc-tasI, ap-
proachcs its completion, and MS the disastrous
fro of last year greatly crippled the historian.
nc finds himself unable TO preserve this unioue
collection when its special uses shall have ter
minated. The price put upon it is S25O.OCo.
and there can 10 no doubt that this is a very
modest estimate Of It's value. II has cost Mr..
bancroft much more in the collection, which
mas been proceeding for twenty-five years

ifornia Is exceedingly great. 1t contains tho

4 QUEER FRIEND or TEMPERANCE

At q meeting held In Brooklyn 10y the friends
Of temperance Mr.. Henry George aired his
views on the question, no doubt to the sur
prisc Of the majority The conclusion TO which
this brilliant thinker had come appeared to be
that the best way to promote temperance was
10 make whshcy free from all taxation what
ever. This policy, he observed, would do away
with all motive for a1utcratlon, and insure the
soundncss OF tho liquor consumed, while if
whisllcy was made cheap nobody could make
money by dealing in it, On what occult eco
monte law he pascd this last inference VIC can
not pretend TO conjecture. As. however, the
world has had some considerable experience Of
cheap liquor, We are not left to speculation IN
inauirng the probable effect Of the removal of
taxation from it, When liquor was both cheap
and good intcmrcrancc was general Incrcas-
ing the supply and improving the quality Of
an article has never yet proved an effective
means Of checking It's consumption, in fact, and
though every loafcr and sot in the land will
no doubt heartily approve Mr.. Georges prop
osition, the friends Of temperance have nothing
10 hope from it.
The eminent rcformer's remarks on the func-
ton Of the saloon In modern society were In
tercstng, but certainly not in line with any
Temperance doctrine the world is thus far ac-
quaintcd with. The saloon says Mr. George,
supplies social want, and therefore it cannot
lie spared mt present. Our houses Of ill-famc,
our gambling hclls, our buckct-shops, our jails
asylums, pcntcntiarics all fall under the same
category, but probably the community would
lie glad to spare each and every ono of them if
it could only find out way. The saloon is the
most active recruiting agency Of all the vice
that keeps the other institutions in full work
and il is only as a means TO that end that it can
he held to Have a definite function in society.
But il is not to bc overlooked that the saloon
prepares mems minds for the reception OF the
rank communism Of which Mr. Henry George
is "a prominent exponent. When the saloon
has exhausted them, drained their pockets.
broken their health, ruined their careers. de-
slroycd their homes, they begin to turn TO those
spccious sophsms which console the incapable
and the sci-indulgent in pcrsuading them that
blatant mouths and idle hands arc equally en-
titled TO the rewards Of industry and thrift with
those who earn them. The elimination of the
saloon would certainly do much to make COM
,nunism and anarchy impossible, and perhaps
surprise ought not TO he felt that those who
utilize those subvcrsivc hcrcsics for their own
ends should be- ayersc to any legislation which
may tend to keep the people sober and in their
,ipbt minds.

ought to inspire Americans with new horror
of the vices of European civilization. These
vast ornaments, so costly and oppressive lit
their maintenance, do not promote the ends OF
national security; nor are they generously en-
ployed for the liberation OF struggling nation
alitles. Not one of the great Powers is willing
to fight today for the independence of Bull
earia. Not one Of these armed giants seeks to
do anything involving sclf-sacrilice; not one
Of them has real sympathy for oppressed races ;
every ono of them is Indifferent to the welfare
Of humanity. America to-day, without an army
and without a feet, is doing a larger share of

Tho law is Mt present much too generous to con

a new and promising step has been taken in
India in the direction OF developing home indus
tries to supply home needs Hitherto the product
OF the teeming wheat fields has been shipped to
Europe, and from Europe has been brought in re-
turn the same wheat ground into -four for Indian
consumption. This was capital arrangement for
shiI-owners and European millers. But 1t has
dawncd upon the native mind that the work of
grinding may rs well be done at home. and the
profits OF European merchants and mlllers saved
for the Indian people. Accordingly great native
milling corporal ion has been formed Mt Bombay.
and there are indications that II will be initiated
in other Indian cities. This will probably mean
higher prices 10 tho wheat-growcr and lower
prices TO tho bread consumer and general advan-
tage TO the Indian people. Indeed. IL is not I'M
possible that the milling OF wheat for the European
market will yet be done within sight of the Indian

The committee Of the State Senate which Is to
investigate how best to reduce taxation Is also
charged with the duty Of ascertaining what
departments of the State Government may be abol-
ished.' "Ihe Albany Times" thinks that this
has been answered by Governor Hill in his mes
sage. He urged the abolition Of the State Board
OF Regents, the concentration in the hands OF
single commissioner Of the powers Of the State
State Board Of Charities. In recommending such
changes on the plea Of economy, the Governor
must have been pcrpetrating huge joke The
members OF these boards serve without pay. it
would be some gain TO the Governor however If
the POWERS Of the Health and Charity boards were
concentrated in the hanls of single commissioners
and he were gwen the power to fill the places
Possibly this might do no harm in the case Of the
State Board Of Health. but it would certainly be
an unwise change to make in the State Board Of
Charities.
